Just giving you fair warning that I'm mad at you for not telling Maxima you were leaving and I'm gonna tell you off for it! You better not hide from me when you get back!
Stay safe, Lighter.

Oh my gosh look at them they're so cute!!!
[Text message during the mid-month Zodiac post, it comes with a photo of Jun in carbuncle form. He's got a yellow bow around his neck and is currently in Harumasa's arms:]
My little brother. So fierce yet so cute. Menace to small rodents, Varians, and sometimes Harumasas.
[Voice message the day before Harumasa and Jun disappear. He sounds... tired, but he's trying to be cheerful like normal all the same:]
Hey, Lighter~! Yeah, yeah, I know, you don't have your phone on you right now and all that, but I'd like a teeeeeensy little favor from you! I promise, it won't be that hard. Probably~.
So, there are a couple of pre-order items I purchased as gifts, but they don't do home delivery. You have to pick it up at the store. Unfortunately, it's all coming out next month and everyone will get very upset with me if I went to the shops myself for pickup. It's just a couple of limited edition fragrances. I'll send you dates and addresses for pickup. I put them all under your name, and I'll of course pay you for your service~!
Thank you, Lighter~! Stay safe!
[There's another voice message that arrives an hour after the last one:]
Oh, by the way...
[Harumasa trails off for a moment. Lighter would be forgiven for thinking that he might have hung up with how long the silence stretches, but he does speak up again.]
I trust you to come back. I really do. If anything, I can understand the need to run when you realize that there are people you care about and who care about you deeply in return. Gotta put some distance to clear your head and see what your heart really wants.
But... on the off-chance that I'm wrong... or that this wasn't the reason for you leaving for so long....
[He trails off again before a quiet, sad sigh can be heard. It's followed by the archer saying something that can barely be heard on the phone: "I hate that it's hard to be honest, Apollo, get off my back."]
Ugh... what I'm trying to say is that if I'm making a wild assumption, I'm... sorry. For probably having a hand in driving you away. I'll apologize again in person if you need me to, but.... [Another sigh and he says, quieter and smaller than he's ever sounded:] I'm sorry if it was my fault.
[There's another long silence before Harumasa gently clears his throat.]
Anyway, I'll see you when you get back! Stay safe, Lighter.
